Halfway Home - TV On The Radio

The lazy way they turned your head

Into a rest stop for the dead

And did it all in gold and blue and gray

The efforts to allay your dread

In spite of all you knew and said

Were hard to see and harder still to say

A comfort plush all laced in lead

Was sent to quell your sentiment

And keep your trembling sentinel hand at bay

And when a sudden silhouette

Escaped the top side of your bed

I knew you’d never ever be the same

Ah, is it not me

Am I not folded by your touch

The words you spoke, I know too much

It’s over now and not enough

Ah, is it not me

The damage you hold inside your blush

The load you towed, you showed it up

It’s over now and I’m insane

Wild spirit winds from out your chest

Collides with world and wilderness

It needs a gentle hand to call it home

Now surfs the sun and scales the moon

And winds the waistband of her womb

All eyes ablaze the day you break your mold

Ah, is it not me

Am I not culled into your clutch

The words you spoke, I know too much

We’re closer now and said enough

Ah, is it not me

Am I not rolled into your crush

The road you chose unloads control

See it take me so

Go on throw this stone

Into this halfway home
